1.3.6 Hotfix Flamethrower
Sammy B. T.:
Flamer, while not able to do everything on its own, is still a ridiculously powerful disabler that can't be dealt with in a fun and practical manner.
Having every particle hit is too much of a buff and fire stacks are far too quick even with good chem spraying.
Wundsalz:
I've flown two matches with a flamethrower-gat build against BFS with a SIR-Ryder team tonight.
Based on these experiences I think the flamer is in a acceptable state on a competitive level. It lacks the raw killing power of competing builds which is usually necessary for brawly builds against experienced and coordinates pilots and crews. Still I think it might be an interesting option for a couple of builds (side weapons of goldies, 3rd weapon for trifectas, squids, etc).

once an ultra close combat weapon gets close it SHOULD feel hard to beat! the key is to soften the target up before it gets there... also if you have heatsink loaded up you will be able to kill it long before it kills you since it does almost no damage
Mezhu:
Current flamethrower is balanced.
